yup either rota gt3 or the Drag replica.....both are basically the same thing.

And a company called erebuni makes the hamann part knock-offs....

The erebuni website:

Dopamine was making his own out of CF... Don't know it they'll be production pieces or not... Nice though

Here's the link

ViS makes the doors too...they just aren't on the website because they aren't popular cause of the $1800 price tag.... But, they will be mine eventually.

i decided against the CF boot because of how poorly the bonnet fit. $200 at the body shop would have been a great deal for me. it can be made to fit perfectly, just not by your average diy'er. i can't imagine trying to fit new doors! BTW, weight savings on the bonnet were about 26 lbs. significant in an area where weight reduction is difficult.
